Therefore, the statue is not accurate replication of the person and there is no "right" to represent him. Artists have the freedom of artistic expression in the region. However, there are some characteristics and symbolic elements that you will find at least one in each of the Buddha statue.

• If the hand resting on the lap represent meditation.

• The crossing hands through chest-Dharma is the symbol or the "medium".

• At the beginning of the Buddha statue, the figure was raised both hands with the ring finger in the left hand touching the thumb and index finger is on the right hand touching the thumb to make a circle with the other three fingers held instructions. It is not certain what this represents.

Called "a larger vehicle" and the most performed is a form of Buddhism in the world at this time. The second is done by more than a third of the Buddha in the world and called Theravada, or "Doctrine of the Elders." It is atheistic in nature and philosophy, but still reveres the Buddha statue. Vajrayana is the most common type of Buddhism and the occult and shamanism. This is done by only 6 percent of the Buddha.
